Abstract
SUAREZ-REYES, Carmen Elena and ROBAYO-TORRES, Aydeé Luisa. Physical therapy discourse, a sprain to subjectivity. rev.fac.med. [online]. 2016, vol.64, suppl.1, pp.25-30. ISSN 0120-0011. https://doi.org/10.15446/revfacmed.v64n3Supl.51231.
Introduction:
For physiotherapists, incorporating the need to identify their discourse as a trigger for the transformation of individuals is essential, taking into account its communicative, meaningful and aesthetic function.
Objective:
To unveil the subjectivity in the discourse of Colombian physiotherapists in a clinical context.
Materials and methods:
The search for a hermeneutical qualitative approach was performed in more than fifty texts including books, journals, web searches and master's courses since 1996. Information was also obtained from interviews with clinical therapists with more than ten years of clinical experience. The interpretation of these texts, in relation to individuals, was conducted in three stages: descriptive, hermeneutical and theoretical construction, which allowed establishing interviews, double-blind recordings and discussion groups as methods for acquiring information. In this sense, the contents of the discourses by clinical physiotherapist were analyzed based on orality and kinetics, finding regularities and providing categories of professional practice.
Conclusion:
A document review and reflective space were created to record the state of the art on physiotherapy discourse and the way it describes and interprets (the speakable and the unspeakable) a clinical physiotherapist. Therefore, the two discourses are understood as the result of being seen, narrated and judged, taking into account the impact they have on the constitution of the subjectivity of the physiotherapist when put into practice in their professional performance.
